What fascinates me is how marketing/media people seem to be detached from general public as they were living in some parallel universe. You would think nobody would like that their wife, daughter, ageing father would be tracked all over the internet, algorithms be used on them to target stuff to them and etc. However when adtech company proposes yet another tracking/targeting big data cross-device etc. algorithm it is always met up with standing ovation by marketing people. I guess as long as it makes advertiser/employer happy it is all OK.
- walrus01 9y agoIn my experience it is much the same as why people in the US intelligence community are perfectly happy with all of the data-gathering revelations in the Snowden files. In short, if you've already gone through the full process to get a Secret or TS clearance (filling out an SF-86 and going through the full-scope background investigation via US OPM) and work somewhere like the NSA, NRO, DTIC, etc, you've given up so much privacy that it has become effectively meaningless to you.
